KCMconmey 4 + 1 Bay DIY NAS Enclosure, 4 x 2.5/3.5 Inch Tray + 1 x 2.5 Inch Internal Bay, MB ITX PSU Flex, Front USB 3.0, 8 cm Chassis Fan, Hot Swap Backplane, Network Attached Storage

It would be even better if it was 10% larger with better wire management. I wouldn't go higher than 6TB HDD, as there's not much airflow. I'd like 8, 10, 12, 16 disk versions as well please. A version with a standard ATX power would be nice too :-)

別にNAS用のケースを欲しかったのではなくMINI-ITX用のPCケースでHDDが4本収納できるコンパクトなケースを探していたところ本商品をたまたま出くわした。値段が少々高いとは思ったものの即決で注文。到着は予定日よりも2日遅くて多少やきもきした。 大きさは他社のMINI-ITX用PCケースより一回り小さく狙い通りだった。ただしその分マザーボードやCPUファン、電源の搭載や配線ケーブルの取り回しには一苦労した。何度も改造をしたい方には不向き。

After eyeballing the four bay version of this case for quite some time I was very pleased to discover the eight bay version. I needed a way to accommodate ten drives for a home media server. This was the solution. It is less expensive, smaller and quite sturdy. As with any mini itx build, things are tight and space for your hands is very limited. Cable management is difficult but easily accomplished with zip ties and hot glue. Internal temperature runs a little high when all ten drives are spinning. But in my configuration, the top four drives are back up drivers and are only used once a week for about two days (22tb to back up). By utilizing a modular flex power supply, cables that aren't needed aren't in the case, and more space is available for add-ons (I needed a mini PCIe to four port SATA Card which is hot glued to the drive cage). I am very satisfied with my purchase, and very impressed with this little giant. Future plans call for an additional set of drives for a secondary backup. Which means purchasing additional drive trays. I'm not sure if they are available, I haven't reached out to the manufacturer, but I'm sure they can supply them. As always, if you need it, get it. You won't be disappointed.

Lots of modding to get everything to fit but in the end it's a very quiet raid10 NAS using an old micro Alienware I had lying around (All fans replaced with Noctuas). There is only 1 cpu fan that actually fits in this case and since I didn't buy that one I decided to bend the frame of the case to get the motherboard in and lucky enough it had no issues closing the case when bent back. There is also no airflow into the case so I had to drill a hole for a 40x10 noctua as well as another hole for the light up Alienware head on the front (see pics).
